Cosmic ray acceleration in subluminal and superluminal relativistic shock environments
The flux of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) at E > 1018.5 eV is believed to arise in plasma shock environments in extragalactic sources. Galactic sources are not able to generate these high energies and the distribution of charged particles is too isotropic to originate from the galaxy. The best candidates for particle acceleration up to 1021 eV are believed to be the Active Galactic Nuc...
متن کاملThe gravitational time delay effect of primordial matter on the light curve of a Gamma Ray Burst
The ‘rise time’ of a gamma-ray burst, which may be defined as the radiation pulse width from a small segment of a fireball’s spherical shell wherein second order effects like shell curvature are unimportant, is conventionally attributed to photon time delay across the thickness of the shell. If the intervening space between the observer and the fireball is inhomogeneous at the minimum level giv...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Burst Afterglow: Polarization and Analytic Light Curves
GRB afterglow polarization is discussed. We find an observable, up to ∼ 10%, polarization, if the magnetic field coherence length grows at about the speed of light after the field is generated at the shock front. Detection of a polarized afterglow would show that collisionless ultrarelativistic shocks can generate strong large scale magnetic fields and confirm the synchrotron afterglow model. N...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
Extended, fading emissions in multi-wavelength are observed following Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Recent broadband observational campaigns led by the Swift Observatory reveal rich features of these GRB afterglows. Here we review the latest observational progress and discuss the theoretical implications for understanding the central engine, composition, and geometric configuration of GRB jets, as w...
متن کاملGamma-ray burst models.
I consider various possibilities for making gamma-ray bursts, particularly from close binaries. In addition to the much-studied neutron star+neutron star and black hole+neutron star cases usually considered good candidates for short-duration bursts, there are also other possibilities. In particular, neutron star+massive white dwarf has several desirable features. These systems are likely to pro...
